OT: 119th Obsequious Banter Thread: April Foods Day

I actually got to look at one in Dayton OH... At the Air Force Museum on Wright-Patterson AFB. If you like planes I highly recommend a visit there.

Pima Air Museum in Tucson is pretty good but Wright Patt is definitely very good.

Kind of wild they crafted that thing back then at that time period.

Think about the space program. Even in Apollo 13, they showed mathematicians calculating entry angles with slide rules. The computers had less memory than a calculator.

Listening to the guy on the bin laden raid talk about the helicopter they used is crazy. The seal team had no idea it existed.

Anyone have any issues with Hulu? Trying to watch S3 of The Bear and every time I go and try to watch the first episode, I get the following, hulu error code p-dev320. I've cleared cache and data, logged out, deleted and reinstalled the app.... nothing works.

 

[Cody Webster]

Hey AA, this is ATC, ugh, we just received an alert that a tornado is heading towards the airport, so we're going to evacuate the tower. I'm going to need you guys to just sit tight in the middle of the air field until it passes and we can come back and get you guys moving again. Good luck out there and stay safe

That's what she said...

[JojoTheWhale]

Moccamasters are ~35% off. I am begging you all to get away from pods if you drink coffee. You deserve a decent cup.

(You can also repair the bleeping thing instead of throwing it away.)

This one here:

It can be a little addictive. It reminds me of my Mom when she would buy dogfood because it was on sale and then she'd go out and buy a dog.

Just had a lightning strike so close I swear I heard electrical crackling/buzz before the thunder which was instantaneous with the lightning. Sheesh.

 

[swami24]

Yup, when it is really close, you hear a snap or pop. Sound doesn't have time to expand to thunder. Been close at least twice

Ive experienced that once before. Very unsettling.

 

[Cody Webster]

I've experienced something very similar, I actually have it on video on my phone. I was in my house filming the storm when all of a sudden there was a lightning strike that had to have hit right around the house. The flash was wild

 

[Cody Webster]

Speaking of storms...the one that just blew through here was pretty wild.

Wife sent me this while I was at work ...not what you want to see. Told her to grab the kid and get out of the house. We lost power with the storm that rolled through and the generator kicked on, and is still running, so that's a bit concerning.

 

[Beef Invictus]

The Child was about to start blowing bubbles in the car. I advised her there would be consequences if she did that. She bitterly replied, "Life is filled with unfairness, and not even a bit of joy"

She's gonna be one hell of a Flyers fan someday.

Would the consequences include good vibes and improved spirits? Everyone likes bubbles
